I am having this gastric problem since Thursday morning but I refused to see the doctor because:

1. It’s expensive.
2. My parents will nag and blame it on my lack of sleep or diet or whatever.

Last night at cell group, felt a little better and was expecting the pain to be gone by the time I wake up today. Unfortunately, I was wrong and this afternoon I woke up with a very sharp pain to the left side of my stomach. It’s not the pain that makes you visit the toilet, neither is it some form of stomach cramp. This pain is just purely pain out of nowhere.

Dragged myself out of bed, went for a shower, took some pain killers before heading down to church with Jacky.

The medicine lasted for quite a while, but the pain came back when service ended. Vincent accompanied me to 7-11 to grab a small carton of fresh milk. And the milk did help a little.

Now it’s 1am, and the pain is back. I guess I’m old enough to take care of myself, so I’m probably gonna pay the doctor a visit tomorrow, or monday.

Just came back from the doctor’s. Gave me a couple of probiotics and charged me $41. At least my condition wasn’t as bad as I thought.

So I just slept the whole day and left my laptop on.

I woke up moments ago to take my medicine, and was feeling so drowsy. Went to take my temperature. Oh gosh, 38.7 degrees celcius. I feel like this is the worst day of my life.

Pastor shared something today and it really made me want to draw up an action plan.

I realised that if we want to achieve our goals, it takes a lot of planning and it has to go into the very minute details. But then again, an action plan only serves as a step-by-step guide to achieving your goals. It cannot guarantee the results of your actions, and it cannot foresee the problems that may arise. Many times, things don’t turn out according to our favour.

I can plan so much and I can do so much, but there’s nobody at the receiving end.

The action plan is drawn to help achieve the goal.

Now the question is, what if halfway through the execution of the action plan and we realise that the goal is almost impossible to reach, do we still carry out the rest of the proposed plan?

Well, my answer is yes.
I have only 2 desires, but for these 2, I will go against all odds.

I stayed up all night just to wait for the results to be out. Kept refreshing the Ngee Ann student homepage from 5.15am.

Finally, at 6.02am,

I was so happy that I grabbed my phone and sent an SMS to Mr Chan. I know it’s rather rude of me to send an SMS at 6am, but you don’t know how grateful I am. I wouldn’t have managed to withdraw from my Internship without his support. He was the one who helped me arrange an interview with the school’s project office. His continual encouragement throughout the entire semester, especially on the day of my project presentation, when he told me to relax and calmed down my nervousness.

One more semester to go. 6 more modules to clear. Jia you, jia you, jia you!!!
